Cudia's family is set to file a petition at the Supreme Court today, challenging the PMA's decision to remove him from this year's graduating class.

The Cudias are also asking the PMA to release their son's diploma and to give him an honorable dismissal.

"The purpose of our filing is to clear our name and secure his diploma so that our son can continue his studies," Cudia's father, Renato, told ABS-CBN's "Umagang Kay Ganda."

Cudia was dismissed by the PMA for violating the academy’s Honor Code after he allegedly lied about why he reported late by two minutes for a class. Cudia, however, claimed the voting of the Honor Committee that led to his dismissal was rigged.

Cudia left the PMA last March 16 after he was disallowed from marching with fellow PMA graduates.

Cudia's father said their family kept silent about the matter after President Aquino asked them for a week to resolve the matter. He said they only broke their silence after the Office of the President failed to update them about Aldrin's case.

He said the family is now asking the Supreme Court to intervene so that his son can continue his studies.
